Kenney,

The Democratic controlled US Senate allows oil companies to continue their alleged exploitation of the public, huh? Gee, one would think that they could get their act together behind this, or something, or anything: especially going after a big business issue. They have been totally ineffective this session, and have accomplished NOTHING. At least Congress is digging their heels in on an issue by insisting on significant budget cuts.
